Discover clarinet components

The clarinet is made up of 5 sections:

  • Mouthpiece – The first piece that goes in the mouth, holds the reed, which is secured with a ligature, and produces the vibration for sound.

  • Barrel – The second piece, which is small and serves as a connector between the mouthpiece and the upper joint.

  • Upper Joint – Part 3 is the first part with tone holes and keys & it is held in the left hand.

  • Lower Joint – Part 4 is the only other part with tone holes and keys & it is held in the right hand.

  • Bell – Finally, the bell flares out at the bottom and helps to project and distribute the sound.
